What Tekva does

Tekva SRL is an Italian private limited company headquartered in Santa Luce, province of Pisa, operating as a B2B industrial equipment manufacturer and authorized distributor. The company produces mechanical seals, gaskets, sealing rings, and elastomeric profiles in-house, while serving as the official Italy distributor for Teikoku canned motor pumps and an authorized dealer for the Clydeunion Pumps group (SPX Group brands including Weir, Clyde, Mather & Platt, Drysdale, WH Allen, Girdlestone, Allen Gwynnes, Harland, Union Pump, David Brown Pumps, DB Guinard, American Pump, Pumpline) and David Brown industrial gearboxes.

Tekva's proprietary product line includes two branded environmental formulations: Technical Silicated, an anti-corrosive concrete impregnating treatment based on modified sodium silicates (liquid glass) CE-certified to EN 1504-2, and Inerting Fast, an acid-neutralizing powder for lead-acid battery storage facilities compliant with Italian D.M. Ambiente 24 January 2011 n. 20 and validated by the University of Pisa. The company also markets a modular mechanical seal (TK-MS) and a TRI CLAMP gasket line in FDA- and EN1935-certified filled PTFE materials for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Commercially, Tekva operates a sales-led model targeting mechanical, chemical, food, pharmaceutical, petroleum, precision industries, power plants, oil platforms, and refineries. Revenue derives from one-time equipment resale (pumps, gearboxes, seals), in-house hardware manufacturing, and professional services including on-site surveys, engineering design, calculations, consulting, brand-agnostic repair, maintenance, and upgrades. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company employs between 11 and 50 people, holds no disclosed institutional investors or parent entities, and confines operations to the Italian market.
